I loved this book! Malala is so inspirational. I found the book really interesting and moving. I think the fact that the book was an autobiography made it even more scary to see everything that happened

This is a really great book. It is a true, yet unbelievable story. The book is about how Malala was shot for standing up for education. It keeps you wanting more and more.

You should read this book because it is life changing and it makes me realise how lucky we are. However, it is sad at some points and you won't want to read on but you have to push on because it is worth it.

This book tells the story of Malala, a Pakistani girl who stood up for the rights of women and publicly spoke out against the Taliban. The book very moving, as it tells the history of Malala's mother and father, talking about their child hood and backgrounds. Her father is as out spoken as his daughter and receives multiple death threats from the Taliban, which, thankfully, are never carried out. Malala also tells the story of when she was shot in the head on October 10th 2012. Nearer the beginning of the book, it also explains the history of the Taliban and the country of Pakistan. This is one of the best books I've read in years and I think everyone aged 8+ needs to read it!!!!!!!!!
